Mojitos by Havana Club Rum

Havana Club Mojitos

This is not a DIY post on how to make mojitos... though these mojitos, served at the newly remodeled Hotel Capri in el Vedado Havana, Cuba were fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!! This is however, a post recommending Havana Club rum. This rum is smooth and sophisticated and, in a way, the secret ingredient here. Havana Club is made in Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba, so you can't get it in the states. You can find it in the Bahamas and I've heard rumors that Bacardi may be carrying it soon, if not already. Mojitos are better when made with Havana Club. Something worth looking into. Havana Club is made with fresh sugarcane and aged in oak casks, 1 -7 years. It's also good as a shot or for sipping, which is how I prefer it. Keeps the flavor pure.

On Thursday, May 5th, more than 400 guests descended upon STK Atlanta to celebrate its two-year anniversary during a private fete -Mad for STK. After diving through the rabbit hole, a spectacular transformed entranceway to the chic steakhouse and lounge, VIP guests mixed and mingled in an "Alice in Wonderland" inspired atmosphere as they enjoyed complimentary signature "Drink Me" cocktails and mouthwatering temptations created by newly appointed Executive Chef Mark Alba. DJ London Thomas set the soundtrack for the evening, while guests mixed, mingled and danced the night away. 

STK Atlanta artfully blends two concepts into one—the modern reincarnation of a steakhouse and a chic lounge. The feel is sleek, sexy and refined. As anticipated, steak is the main attraction. STK is located at 1075 Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta on the corner of Peachtree and 12th Streets. Complimentary valet parking is available on 12th Street. Visit www.stkhouse.com for more information and stay connected on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/STKATL and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/STKAtlanta.
